Islamabad has consistently voiced concerns that the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) uses Afghan soil to launch attacks in Pakistan, asking the Afghanistan government to rein in the group. Kabul denies the allegations.
A press release today from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said: “On 6 February 2025, an Afghan national involved in terrorism inside Pakistan was killed during an operation conducted by the security forces in general area Datta Khel of North Waziristan.”
The statement apparently referred to an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in which security forces killed three terrorists “who were trying to escape wearing women’s attire (burqa)”
